[IRCServices] [Suggestion for next versions] Topiclock and last channels

Hello there,
I'm a happy servadmin on irc.discussioni.org, right now using version 
4.5.35.
There's not very much I can say against them, since they're quite 
perfect, though I have a couple of feature proposals:

1) Topiclock. It is possible to allow, e.g, AOPs to set topics via /cs 
set #chan topic newtopic when topiclock is set on, by setting to 5 the 
level for SET. Problem is, this will allow any user with access level 5 
(AOP) to use _any_ SET command, which is not really nice :) Plus, the 
users should still use /cs set #chan topic to set a new topic.
My proposal is: why not adding an option to decide which access level 
should be needed to set a topic? Something like:
  /cs set #chan topiclock [off | vop | hop | aop | sop | founder]
when services uses the "simplified" access levels (i.e. aop, hop, et 
cetera), and
  /cs set #chan toplick [off | <level>]
when services are using dalnet-style access levels.
This should, imho, allow users to use the plain old /topic #chan stuff, 
as well as (why not?) the /cs set #chan topic stuff. Or maybe a /cs 
topic #chan stuff.

2) Last channels. When using /ns info, one can get quite a bunch of 
information about a user, provided the user himself didn't set the hide 
options. It would be nice if the /ns info returned the last channels a 
user was on when he/she quit, so that, e.g., if you are looking for me 
you can join the same channels I am usually on. Of course, this would 
require to filter the channels with the private flag set, and maybe also 
the +s channels. And it would be necessary to add a hide lastchans 
option too :)


What do you all think? :)
